I did a caricature of Howard Stern when he was still in terrestrial (K-Rock in New York) radio, so it’s severely outdated. Since I’m working at Sirius (Sirius XM, Inc. now) this is an appropriate caricature to start this blog off with. It’s in colored chalk pastel on bristol paper, which is a really great medium to work with, very forgiving and you can do work that is very “spontaneous” and free-flowing made up of simple lines, or something heavier like a Degas drawing. I’m more into the lightness of these pastels, over-working the piece is really easy to do and I like to let the tone of the paper do some of the work for me anyway. Adding back white to pastels always feels like cheating to me.

Now if only I could write with lightness too. I do tend to go on and on and on sometimes.

At some stage, I’ll do the “new” post-terrestrial, post-merger, post-marriage Howard, and perhaps some other members of his crew.
